purchased my truck new about 8 months ago, and it has almost 8k miles. So far, when the exhaust filter reaches ~80%, it has typically run the regen and clears in a matter of minutes.
I took the truck on a road trip today, and was on the highway for 3 hours. I left the house with the filter at 80%, and reached my destination with the filter at 95%. Is this normal? No other warnings or lights.
I am a bit frustrated that a few of us have this problem, but does not seem to be an issue for most.
I hardly see passive regens working no matter what the distance is; 25 minutes or three hours, towing 11k or slick.
There’s some magic number like every 492 miles an active regen turns on, but unless I have my edge CTS hooked up, I don’t know if it’s on, and if it stops before complete it won’t finish when started.
when at 7k feet and slick on the interstate, that is the only time passive regen brought it down to 0%. I’m not going to drive 4 hours to get there and do the passive regen.
For now, the truck stays in the garage unless I take it out on a camping trip. My daily driving is 13 miles to work, 13 miles back; half of which is interstate, the other half stop and go.
My next step is to get Forscan which should add the manual regen button that I can use when it reaches 95%. Forscan will be free.
After that, I can get an EZX to add to my edges that will force manual regen, but that’s a few hundred dollars.
OCR may be a little different on the 23's from the 22's, but if you haven't already, you could enable OCR with Forscan. This will allow you to turn off auto regen, and then when you get to 100% you can turn auto regen back on and allow it to run. This will allow you to actually know when regen is on and you can make sure it completes back down to 0% before you shut the truck off. You can also use something like a Banks iDash to monitor the regen status to at least know when the regen is active. If you do a lot of long drives and tow often, this may not be as necessary, but if you do a bunch of unloaded short trips, I found it to be much more necessary to be able to have some control over it, and know when it's happening so it can actually complete.
I won't say you don't have a problem - it's not unheard of. That said, yes, it's about 492 miles that it will auto-regen. I notice when it's happening because I leave my dash screen with the instantaneous fuel mileage up, and when it goes into a regen mileage drops to about 15 mpg at 55-60 mph.
I have never gotten above 80% full though, back when it was new (less than 10k miles). Since then I think I've gotten to 60% a couple times, but usually less than 50%.
